ACADEMIC ACTIVISM

Submitted by ub on

American Colleges and Universities say activism is welcomed and encouraged on their campuses. US Students reacted.

This is not to say scholars don't have to arrive on time, engage in the classroom, and complete their assignments.
Student activism has its place, but institutions for higher learning must prioritize academic excellence and intellectual diversity over politics.

Activists can create an echo chamber and limit the exchange of ideas, hindering the true purpose of higher education.

I’m old enough to remember when SNL was funny. This skit was not and lost the point altogether. https://youtu.be/D3sJBQpd1hc?si=KhzSGJ-0POzw2NEW

Don’t get me wrong, I have been a fan of SNL for decades. I met Gilda, Jane, and Bill inside the NBC building and regularly attended the weekday rehearsals during my lunch breaks. I also unexpectedly appeared in a skit with the late Reggie Harris on the Buckwheat is Dead segment.
